Chapter 344: Different Position
Thea’s tears fell continuously as she whispered, "I can’t hear it..."
She heard it of course but she felt it was only a dream. She was afraid that everything was just a dream that she did not dare to make a movement out of fear that she would soon wake up.
Jeru’s lips curved upward as he held Thea’s shoulders to make her stand up so he could properly hold and kiss her face.
He looked at her eyes closely as he wiped her tears. "Hon... I said I love you. I’m sorry that I confessed later than you, because I was not confident enough. But then, I didn’t want to have any regrets in the future so I decided to tell you what I truly feel. I LOVE YOU." Jeru said it loud and clear and his words penetrated deep in her heart.
Thea’s face crumpled as she cried that made Jeru grin. "What’s this... Stop crying. And here I was expecting my wife to be screaming out loud with joy..." Jeru commented with a smile as he continued to wipe those tears of Thea that kept on flowing.
"These are tears of joy!" Thea defended. Jeru leaned forward to kiss her. "Shhh. Stop crying," Jeru whispered in between his kisses. He could taste the cookies in Thea’s mouth.
"My heart taste good," he mumbled as he continued to kiss his still sobbing wife. Jeru stopped before he totally consumed Thea who was now gasping for air.
Jeru walked her to a comfortable couch in the living room so that she could sit down and calm herself. Thea managed to stop herself from crying. She straightened her back and stared at Jeru with pouted lips. "I’m so bloated with all those hearts of yours. Why you did not just say it to me directly? Who the hell advised you to over-fill my stomach first with your hearts?" she commented in a jest.
Jeru laughed and said, "It’s your father-in-law’s idea. He told me that he was thinking to confess like that to his first love when he’s still young. I told him about my problem, that I was struggling to express myself in words because of my lack of confidence. Then he suggested it. He said I can try doing things like these and eventually words will follow."
